Description
📼 “Analog Era” is a collection of 50 presets for the Korg Wavestate synthesizer, featuring 9 arpeggios, 6 brasses, 6 basses, 6 keys, 9 leads, 5 pads, 2 sequences, and 7 strings.
This sound bank draws inspiration from the iconic sound of Vangelis, the legendary composer behind numerous film soundtracks, most notably Blade Runner. Vangelis’ signature style is also prominent in his works from the 1970s, such as Spiral, Albedo 0.39, Earth, and others.
📚 This soundset is included in Wavestate ERA BUNDLE (100 Presets) with a 20% discount COMPLETE BUNDLE (400 Presets) with a 45% discount.
📻 This sound was heavily shaped by the pre-digital era, where electronic music relied on analog synthesizers like the Moog Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, Yamaha CS series, Roland Jupiter series, Korg MS-20, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, and more. Unlike the crystal-clear precision of digital sounds, analog is characterized by warmth, detuning, and subtle distortion, creating a rich texture.
I aimed to recreate the essence of this era and sound in the “Analog Era” soundset.
📸 Analog sound remains highly relevant today and is in great demand across various musical styles. Many sound designers strive to emulate it using modern instruments and plugins because it evokes strong nostalgia and emotional connections, taking listeners back to their childhoods, retro music, and classic films.
🎹 Although the Korg Wavestate is a digital synthesizer, it offers a wide range of features that allow for an accurate emulation of vintage analog sounds. It includes an extensive collection of waveforms and timbres, analog filter emulations, and a variety of effects. I worked to maximize these capabilities to craft the “Analog Era” soundset.
🧿 These performances are perfect for genres such as Synthwave, Retrowave, Synth-Pop, Ambient, New Age, Cinematic, Electronica, Pop, Techno, Industrial, Psytrance, Garage, Progressive, House, Experimental, Breaks, and Drum and Bass. They also work well for movie soundtracks, games, apps, digital art, sound art live performances, and VR landscapes, providing the retro atmosphere that many projects require.
🎛 The presets are mapped in a unified way (with some exceptions) for the 8 Performance Mod Knobs/Macros:
🔸 1 – Changes Wave/Osc shape
🔸 2 – Unison Voises Number
🔸 3 – Unison Stereo
🔸 4 – Unison Detune
🔸 5 – Attack
🔸 6 – Shortens Decay or Gate
🔸 7 – Adds movement
🔸 8 – Additional Layers Volume
🕹 The ModWheel adds expressiveness, brightness, and/or vibrato, while the Vector Envelope joystick controls the filter cutoff and resonance for dynamic, hands-on control during performances.
All presets respond to Velocity, allowing for dynamic expression and variation depending on how hard or soft you play, giving you more control and nuance during performances.
Highlights:
🔹 Thoroughly set parameters.
🔹 All 8 Performance Knobs/Macros are assigned to different parameters, providing nuanced to drastic changes.
🔹 Vector Envelope controls filter Cutoff and Resonance.
🔹 ModWheel adds expression.
🔹 Velocity-sensitive.
🔹 No external/additional samples required.
🔹 Equalized volumes for comfortable browsing.
✅ Compatible with all versions of the Wavestate synthesizer: Original/MK1, MK2, SE, SE Platinum, Module, Native, VST, Audio Unit Plugin.
Ensure that you are using the latest software/firmware version.
